Im actially a big fan of Blender..and therefore also of this fork!
But what drives me mad about the application is the inconsistant import and export options! They sometimes work..often dont! Second is related to that..if you import a model..it gets stored in a Blenderrender way...! You have to run a script to change to cycles material! If you want Prorender. run another script! Thats not a good workflow!
Yes. Materials is a big pain. Not only at im- and export ...

Isn't this true with a lot of modeling applications? C4D (I have R15) is terrible importing stuff, Sketchup can be very fussy
I think model file formats are so inconsistant its getting harder to make a decent importer
yeah! Its getting more and more fussy!
